Delirious Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Yeah. I don't understand these fabricated robbery stories. Wasn't there a golfer that did the same thing during a tournament in Hawaii a year ago or so? Â But I'm heartbroken the USA women's beach volleyball team missed out on gold. Walsh-Jennings is a legend, sad way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CusDamato Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Yeah. I don't understand these fabricated robbery stories. Wasn't there a golfer that did the same thing during a tournament in Hawaii a year ago or so? Â But I'm heartbroken the USA women's beach volleyball team missed out on gold. Walsh-Jennings is a legend, sad way to go. They lied about the robbery because the real story was they damaged a sign and the bath room at a gas station and were caught by a security guard that pointed a gun at them apparently. Â What sounds better? "I was robbed in Rio by gun point and they had to point the gun at my forehead for me to back down" OR " I got caught destroying a shit house while representing my country and had a gun pointed at me by security and was made pay for it". Probably just plain embarrassment made them make it up to be honest hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterLeader Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 What do people think of the shameful corruption in the Olympics as a consequence of Russian bribes?  https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/cheated-irish-boxer-michael-conlon-8644981.amp?client=safari  It's pretty embarrassing. Imagine having the audacity to bribe judges despite almost being banned from the Olympics for cheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentor Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzJdRcf-EIs  I just witnessed this shocking injury at the Olympics. I think this injury compares to the one with Paul George (NBA player) a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornmma1 Posted August 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Olympic SHW boxing final was pathetic. One guy with zero technique against a guy who curled up behind his defense the entire fight, who did nothing and somehow won. What a sad moment for boxing.

MasterLeader Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Â Funny thing is you believe what the Mirror writes. I stopped reading that jargon 20 years ago. This is factual and the first article I found, but there's widespread journalism on this corruption. Â Everyone knows the Irish fighter beat the shit out of the Russian but was given 3-0 to the Russian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentor Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 I did not see the fight, so i cannot judge anything, but it is not the first time a decision did not go the right way, i do not think that Russia or whatever country would risk trying to bribe some judges at a major event like this.

Steel Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 But they would provide a state sponsored doping programme to prepare for an event like this, but they would then draw the line on leaning on some judges here and there?

Same thing happened with Evgeny Tischenko - should've lost in the QF, but was also given a controversial decision in the final. Coincidence?

Mentor Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 The thing is, poor judges decisions does not mean Russia bribed them though, i mean what does Russia have to gain from bribing a judge in an Olympic event? A gold medal? I am pretty sure they do not put so much emphasis on things like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CusDamato Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Â Funny thing is you believe what the Mirror writes. I stopped reading that jargon 20 years ago. It's a well known fact that there is a lot of corruption in the top level of amateur boxing, it's not just one place that you don't like that is reporting it at such. It's not like this is the first time this has happened either, the amateur international boxing association have been screwing people over for 50 years. Â EDIT* sorry i didn't see there was another page to this thread. I'm not saying that the russians did anything, I'm just saying amateur boxing as a whole is ripe with corruption. Also that article from the mirror doesn't say russia or anyone bribed anyone else from what i can see, they are just reporting what happened and the boxers claims.

Mentor Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Well, boxers always claim the judges are rigged, when you lose a decision, so i guess this is not unusual to see in the Olympics as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually The AIBA dropped a bunch of the judges after a review of the fights they judged. There is a huge difference between thinking you won and comfortably winning and the judges giving it to the other guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.J Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Indian government is full of Dumbffucks.they shower Olympic medal winners with insane amounts of cash rewards and give them a huge plot of land.Enough money that medal winner don't even have to do nothing all his life ever again and still live comfortably.What they will not do themselves is establish academies throughout the country and improve current facilities.Good thing is a few of our top athletes were generous enough to use their personal wealth to open private academies.hell,FIFA had to give our football federation big bucks so that our junior national football teams can go on to compete in different tournaments.Thanks to Fifa we also have some FIFA funded football academies with good facilities.may be we'll have a football team in Olympics 2030.
